Graduates of the practical nursing program can take the National Council Licensing Examination for Practical Nurses (NCLEX-PN).

The goal of the LPN is to provide care for the physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional needs of their patients. LPNs are advocates and health educators for patients, families, and communities. Nursing is ultimately about caring for people. Today’s nurses must also possess critical thinking and clinical decision-making skills to provide quality, safe patient care.

Our nursing students receive immersive experience in skills, didactic clinical, simulation, and interprofessional experiences in various health care settings. 

In addition, our PN certificate helps prepare students for real-world practice in our new, fully equipped labs with the latest nursing simulation technologies, where they develop confidence with clinical decision-making, communication, teamwork, and leadership.
